Garlicky milk

Liz

I've have been having a sore throat for a few days and I grew tired of it, so I ate a pretty respectable amount of garlic (a popular remedy in this area) yesterday afternoon. About 6 hours later my little one was extremely fussy while nursing, latched on and released my nipple while protesting loudly. 

We had a long and painful session. I tried to calm her offered the other side, checked the diaper, checked her clothing, checked the temperature, everything I could think of... in the end she calmed down and fell asleep. 

I ate some more garlic this morning again since I was sure it couldn't have been the garlic - I had had garlic before and had no problem breastfeeding, although a smaller amount. 

About 6-7 hours later she was again fussy while eating. Checked the diaper, clothing. temperature... in the end she calmed down on the other side but it wasn't pretty. My little one is rarely fussy, so these were really unusual. 

Do you think it could be the garlic? (I fed her from both sides with no issues before and between these two occasions.)
